Up DOWN, UP UP down - is it the waltz steps

DAY  7

Colin is very up and down all day with how he feels.

Not so positives:
-Nausea the worst but drugs work for short periods
-hard to eat
-Shitty chemicals pumping in
- low red blood cells
-feeling exhausted
-hair will drop out
-hard going to toilet when you feel yucky +++

Positives:
-lumbar puncture is clear
-ultra sound clear
-heart ok
-chest okay
- hardly any hair anyway.  Haircut not needed.
-hair grows back curly!
-spending lots of time with him and he doesn't talk back!

His colleague visited with her husband,  Primla and it is okay for Doctor colleagues to visit only.
love the green maori fish hookl. reads:
symbol of plenty, determination, prosperity, safe journey over water, good health.

Friend Mary H was taxi and  Nick will pick up and sort dinner
Brendon sat with Colin for 1 1/2 hours while I went to lunch with Faye,  Kevin and Carol.
Lovely to see the day,  feel the heat and change the subject and view.
